Sound familiar?

Your team sells. But nobody manages them.

You still close most deals

Your team needs you on every big call. So you never get time to run the business.

Nobody coaches your salespeople

They make the same mistakes every week. Nobody is there to fix them.

You can't predict next month

You don't know how many sales are coming. So it's hard to plan hiring or cash.

Questions

Straight answers

Why not just hire a sales manager? +

You can. But it costs $125k to $250k a year, takes months, and might not work. Bruce costs much less, has a track record, and can start next month. If you want someone in-house later, he will help you hire and train them.

Which plan should I pick? +

If you're not sure what's wrong, start with the Audit. If your team needs sharper skills but you can run them day to day, pick Sales Coach. If nobody is managing the team, pick External Sales Manager.

Is this a short-term project? +

No. The first few months set things up. After that, Bruce keeps working with your team every month for as long as you want.

Bruce lives in South Africa. How does that work? +

He works during your morning hours, on phone and video calls with your team. He already manages a remote sales team for a US company.

Do we need new software? +

No. Bruce uses the tools you already have.

Do you promise more sales? +

We promise the work: your team gets a clear process, regular coaching and honest reports. Sales also depend on your product, price and market, so we won't promise a number we can't control.

Stop managing the sales team yourself.
